The Unseen - Week 1

WestGate Church Teaching

Imagine you went back to the 1940s and told a bunch of young men you were going to send them to the beach. They donned their swim trunks, grabbed their towels, boogie boards and sunscreen for an exciting and relaxing day in the surf. One catch: the beach was Normandy in June 1944. This difference in expectation and reality is often what happens to us modern people. The Biblical authors, along with the rest of the ancient world, believed that there was a spiritual realm full of spiritual beings, both good and evil, that exists right alongside the physical world we can see, hear, and touch. And that there was a battle for our lives and allegiances going on every day. The good news is, if we’re aware of it, we can make ourselves less vulnerable and be ready for the battle.
